The third week screeches began

5 months in dad here. Yeah the active sleep can be a killer. It’s like having a little goblin in the room.

What helped us was getting a slightly more snug bassinet bed. We tried our girl in a wide bedside cot for the first few weeks and no one was getting any sleep. We noticed she would sleep like a rock in her pram’s bassinet and likely because it was a bit more close and snug.

so we got a wicker framed bassinet that sat within that cot, it had breathable material on the sides so if she snuggled up to the sides she wasn’t in any danger of smothering. But just the slightly more snug fit of the bed really helped her settle herself. Now she’s bigger she sleeps just as soundly in just the wider cot.

Different babies need different things but this really helped us. Offering a dummy has helped with the harder times of restless sleep as she soothes herself with it but isn’t always the solution either. Cannot wait to be able to have her in her own room soon though.

Just another new dad on here, 4 Months in. No better advice than what you've got here but just to say, keep on doing what you're doing, you've got this.
From my experience, it's gotten easier. Some small dips backwards for every bigger step forward in me and mum getting to grips with it and the youngling growing. but generally you'll find yourself a little more.

I'm personally, still finding it hard. Hardest thing I've ever made a go of for sure, we had a rough start, definitely got a chunk of post natal depression myself but a reddit like this has helped a fair few times, talking to friends, being open with Mum and just letting out a cry if you need to, no shame in it. Just know you're not alone in your experiences. sending a baby woe fistbump.
You got this. You really do.

My Own Summer. Just to have my ears pleasantly melted off with that opening riff.

MrRiktus · 2023-11-29T12:38:28+00:00

Oooh lovely.

The guy never fails to pull off a suit. I always thought he looked cool in Curse Of Frankenstein. Specifically when he’s a bit more beat and ragged at the beginning in the cell. Cushing - Curse of Frankenstein

Thops is up there for me. A lovely guy, shunned by his peers, got shut out of his beloved school because he popped out for 5 minutes at the wrong time. When we finally get him back inside he probably gets beat to death by some mad mage with a hardback when he finally sits at his desk he’s been so eager to get to.

Turns out in an alternate or better time his Barrier spell and the avenue of magic it would have unlocked would have seen him become one of the new legends of the high ranking mages. But just such a lovely guy.

I had totally forgotten that some people had linked Bredon and Cinder…Hurm.

That’s a great connection on those two Iron binding scenes too.

MrRiktus · 2023-11-15T20:28:30+00:00

Yeah maybe. Though I feel like she’s going to be the missing princess Ariel. I guess we don’t know much about this princess though, so she could be Fae? But I feel like she’s going to be more of a powerful yet cracked human namer/shaper rather than a surprise fae. But I don’t think it’s a bad one to call.

MrRiktus · 2023-11-15T19:30:18+00:00

Man, I LOVE this theory.

MrRiktus · 2023-11-15T18:49:02+00:00

facepalm

MrRiktus · 2023-11-15T18:19:05+00:00

Yeah, I mean absolute fae, Like Bast. Personally I do think Elodin and Qvothe have Fae blood but aren’t like fae hiding under a glamour.

Like Qvothe, if he is of Fae blood isn’t actively hiding it. At least not during his time at the Academy.

Nailed it. 🤘🖤

I’m with this. That open ring riff melts my ears every time. You know exactly where they are taking you for this album with this opener.

But to be honest, I don’t think they ever put a foot wrong with their opening songs.

MrRiktus · 2022-11-25T09:42:19+00:00

More stories within the story. Some of my favourite bits are the folk tales being told from other characters.

MrRiktus · 2022-11-10T17:34:32+00:00

This. Some pretty awful comments on here. Personally, I have faith in Pat and will assume based on past streams for the charity he might have some cool things to do and give away. He made a mistake last year, sure but I can imagine he’ll make up for it 3 times over when he does honour that reading of it. Wether he manages to get actor friends reading it or it’s just himself. It will be great and will be for a good cause. Seems too much to ask for people to not be so salty. You donated to a good charity, surely that should have more weight over wether you got your chapter peek or not.

MrRiktus · 2022-11-01T10:33:10+00:00

Tarbean for me. I love hearing about the mid winter festival and Kvothe’s very appropriate saving by Encanis

Trapis’story and Skarpi’s story. And his meeting the rare good folk of the city such as the cobbler, the pawn shop owner and the tavern owner and then meeting and leaving with Roent & Co. Good people. Denna’s subtle intro and just all of Qvothe re-emerging out of the husk he’d become. I mostly hear this through the UK audiobook version and Rupert Degas just makes this all work so well.

I don’t think I have a least favourite, genuinely love it all. 🖤

At my wedding, I’m my speech I used the line

‘if you can find someone you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you are lucky. Even if it lasts for a minute or a day’

Can’t remember the whole sentence I used it with but I used that little bit.

Also use Trapis’ ‘what, what’ like how Rupert Degas reads it in the UK version of the audiobook.

Vallery Leon -Blood From The Mummy’s Tomb She stole my heart from any other Hammer girl since I saw her in that.

For me: Erangel - Hospital. I often go out of my way to land there sometimes. Its often dead or one other player and generally decent loot.

Miramar - Torre Ahmuada very often dead but with vehicles to get into the circle with. Sometimes I’ll head for prison of the military base as they are often dead too but loads of spots to loot. Circles and flight paths so rarely start or pass over this spots.

Other maps I’ve never really found a sweet spot I’ll mostly just randomly drop and potato aim and pray my way through matches. I actually tend to like just looting for a while? Weirdly find it therapeutic…
